DRAFT APPENDIX D: PLANT PALETTE

Transcription

1 APPENDIX D: PLANT PALETTE The following plant palette was developed in partnership with Los Cerritos Wetlands Land Trust and Tidal Influence (Ecological Consultant). Three lists comprise the palette and include allowable native species, those best suited for bioswales, and plants not allowed (invasive). The following species shall be used as noted below. If the species noted below are unavailable due to unforeseen circumstances (lack of availability, etc.) alternate species may be proposed for consideration during the Site Plan Review process. Substitute species should match the intent of the original as closely as possible, and any deviations from the list will be applied as an exception to the requirement. The City reserves the ability to periodically update the list to reflect refinements to the species used, without requiring a Specific Plan Amendment. HEARING Southeast Area Specific Plan May 2017
